Twelve hospital in North Georgia got A's including Gordon Hospital in Calhoun, which received an "A" rating since LeapFrog started grading in 2012.

Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marrietta and Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta also got top marks. Piedmont's CEO celebrated the achievement telling CBS46 "Achieving this top grade demonstrates our commitment to creating a superior and safe experience for our hospital. It is a great accomplishment and I thank everyone at our hospital for putting our patients' safety first."

No hospital earned an F, but in North Georgia eight hospitals got D's including Atlanta Medical Center and Grady.

Andy Miller, CEO and Editor of Georgia Health News, says patients should consider safety records and these grades when selecting a hospital.

"We didn’t have this information 10 years ago - 20 years ago," says Miller. "We want to get the best care that we can and it is good that this information is out there."

CBS46 reached out to Grady and Atlanta Medical Center for statements on their D grades but have not heard back.
